New Camera?
Posted in Random on October 9th, 2008 by adminSo photagraphy has always been somthing I’ve been somewhat interested in. I’ve always wanted something artistic to do and I don’t really have the skill for drawing or painting. And lets just say my English isn’t always “up to par”. So recently I’ve started considering taking up photagraphy more seriously. Only as a hobby of course. So first things first, I need a camera. Of course I have a camera already (even thought I haven’t been able to find it for a few months) But it’s really not up to par, even my untrained eye can tell the image quality is poor. So first thing was first. I had to decide what I wanted, and how much I was willing to spend. I decided I wanted a Digital SLR and was willing to spend around $500. First I looked around online and didn’t really find to much that intersted me. So then came my next idea…
I decided I’d look around for a used camera. That way I could get a pretty good camera for a lower price. First place I looked of course was UsedPEI.com I visit the site pretty much everyday so of course it was the first place I looked. Unfortunatly there was nothing there that caught my eye either. So on to the next site, Kijji witch I frequent far less. Luckily under cameras the very first entry was Pretty much exactly what I was looking for. An Olympus Evolt E410 for only $500 OBO. Only three months old!
I emailed the guy and althought the reply was slow it did come eventually. The Previous owner is looking to upgrade to a more professional camera so wants to get rid of this one. He also sent some sample pics (witch I requested) of pictures the camera has taken. One of witch I’ll post below. Anyway I emailed him back to let him know I’m interested and to find out his address and when I’ll be able to go see/Purchase it. If all goes well I’ll be posting with a few pictures I’ve taken with my new camera sometime next week!
